TI1H apiiirciit ending of (lie British strike is typii-ally British.
Jolm Hull lias a genius for somehow muddling through. Two
distinct crises were met, each apparently insoluble, and both were
successfully bridged ut the last moinen-
Probably the phlegmatic, but essentially sane Anglo Suxbn tem
perament lies at the bottom of it. Perhaps Lloyd George luck was
u contribuling factor. But with the annoimceinent of J. II. Thomas
that the railway strike is off, Ihe buck of any immediate industrial
revolution is unquestionably broken.
For next to Henderson, Thomas is undoubtedly Ihe foremost
labor leader in Kugland today. If a labor government should even
tually be formed, and this eventuality is still possible, he would
necessarily be a controlling factor. Therefore, his refusal to join the
miners walk-out, means the end of any general labor offensive.
The crisis in England's coal industry closely resembles the crisis
in the railway industry of America. During the war the coal mines
were under government control; in the stress of the emergency, wages
were increased throughout the industry, and the losses were absorbed
by the national treasury.
, Hut with Ihe elimination of government control, the mines went
back to a disordered business situation, with only their own revenues
to rely upon. As a result, whereas, the larger and more prosperous
mines were still able to maintain war standards, the smaller and less
prosperous mines were not. So as a business proposition, the smaller
mines had to reduce wages to exist, and it was this reduction that pre
cipitated the trouble.
What the miners demanded was essentially a return to govern
ment aid, that is they insisted on a pooling of mine profits, so that
the weaker properties could lie maintained from the excess profits of
the larger ones. The mine owners refused to do this and the govern
ment refused to compel them.
"What the outcome will be is still problematical. But if John Bull
runs true to form, not only will an industrial revolution be perma
nently avoided, but a compromise effected whereby both parties to
the dispute will gain something, and the wage scale raised to allow
all mine workers to decenllv earrv on.
This ability to muddle through, to progress bv evolution rather
than revolution, to somehow reform the national machinerv without
ii'eaking it, has been the most conspicuous characteristic of British
polities' for many years. "Whereas in n Latin countrv. blood would
uive been shed and a complete smash-up endured, with a new and bet
ter system perhaps built upon the ruins of tho old. Great Britain has
consistently sidestepped every eruption, and attained the same result
through peaceful change-
It's a great and Valuable trait. Sonic political students alrendv sen
the break-up of the British empire. Sooner or later most empires
have broken, and no doubt the British Kmpire. as at present, const!.
tilled, is not eternal. Biit as long as this essential sanity, this inbred
aversion to revolutionary dramatics holds firm, the dissolution will be
so gradual as to scarcely be noticed. There is reason to believe that
lor many decades yet canny old John Bull will continue in the future
as he has in the past, to successfully muddle through.

THE MENACE.
npIIE ROAD is dark with reckless gents whose'' cheap' cars
X swiftly pass, and they have less than fifty cents when they
have paid for gas. They got their cars where junk is sold by
some unmoral man; they got their cars, to have and hold, on the
installment plan. And if they smashed my limousine, dest roved
Ms priceless hood, they could not raise a silver bean to make 'the
damage good. And if perchance they ran me down, and broke
my costly spine, they could not raise a single crown to pav a claim
of nunc. Along the road their boats are hurled, for wrecks they
do not care; they have no assets in the world, Ihe damage to re
pair. Oh, in the future or beyond, on some bright dav afar, tho
man must give ample bond who hopes to drive a car He'll
have lo show he can advance the roubles from his keg to pnv the
bill it he should chance to break some fellow's leg. He'll have to
show he has the cush, the kopecks in a can, to pav me, if with
maudlin rush ho spoils my new sedan. The paupers scorch along
111. lull, and by ,, virgin wood ; and if they wreck or maim or
kill they can make nothing good.
